Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Wommelgem

The drive from Brussels Airport to Wommelgem

Wommelgem is 49 km (30 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes around 35 minutes. The route heads north towards the Antwerp area, so traffic on the main motorways decides how smooth the trip is. On weekday mornings and late afternoons, queues are common around Brussels and Antwerp, so it is sensible to allow extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make. Because the transfer is private, the driver goes straight to your address without stops for other passengers.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, small families or business travellers, a private taxi is the simple choice: one option seats up to 3 passengers, the other up to 4. If you have a lot of luggage, or the group is close to the limit, pick the larger car to keep everyone comfortable. Bigger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, which suits family gatherings, company teams, wedding guests and club trips arriving on the same flight. The whole group then travels together and arrives at one door.

Wommelgem as a destination

Wommelgem is a municipality in the province of Antwerp, just east of the city of Antwerp. It is largely residential and green, and it sits close to the motorway network and the city, which makes it handy for people visiting family, working at local businesses or staying nearby for events in the Antwerp region. Most visitors find that a door-to-door transfer is easier than juggling several connections with luggage.

Places to stay near Wommelgem

Wommelgem is a small place, and I cannot name long-established hotels there with confidence. Antwerp, the nearest large city, has several well-known hotels that are a short drive from Wommelgem:

• Hilton Antwerp Old Town, in the historic centre
• Radisson Blu Astrid Hotel Antwerp, close to Antwerp-Central station
• Hotel Julien, a boutique hotel in the old town

If you stay in one of these, tell us the exact address when booking so the driver can plan the route.
